Telecommunication Relay Services and Speech-to-Speech Services for Individuals With Hearing and Speech Disabilities

This document seeks comment on technological advancements that may further the statutory goal of functionally equivalent Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) for persons with hearing and speech disabilities, including comment on whether TRS facilities should have the same National Security Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP) designation as local exchange carriers under the Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) System to ensure that persons with hearing and speech disabilities have access to telecommunications services during time of local, national, or international crisis.
